BIO

My research at the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology focuses on applying mathematical and statistical methods to assess the dynamics of infectious disease and the impact of interventions. I am interested in the interface of health systems and infectious disease epidemiology with my main focus being on Tuberculosis and HIV.

tuberculosis
As part of the Global Health Analytics group, we use mathematical modelling methods to address the impact of interventions in different epidemic settings, such as India, Eastern European countries and sub-Saharan Africa.

My current research looks at the target product profiles of future preventive therapy regimens against TB in varying settings of TB and HIV burden.

HIV & AIDS
My research has looked at the transmission dynamics of HIV epidemics in Latin America and the impact of interventions. I have also developed tools for assessing a nation-wide "Treatment as Prevention" programme for HIV in Brazil, making use of mathematical models and analysis of routinely collected data.
